Three Learning Lessons From Puppy Training Last month, our family welcomed Trixie, the most perfect and awesome goldendoodle, into our home. Between my wife (who is very much her own person), our two boys, and me, we've spent approximately equal time training Trixie to be the best version of her dog self as we have cuddling her (note: puppies spend, like, 18 hours a day sleeping, so there’s been that, too).

Three Things You Can Say to Enhance Collaboration Language is an amazing thing. What we say and how we say it reflects who we are and what we value. Whether you are speaking out of habit or stepping out of your comfort zone to make a point, the words that you use matter. In the past few months I've noticed some simple and everyday examples of how our turns of phrase can be quite egotistical and even self-centered.

Three Ways to Make a Difference According to Jane Goodall Jane Goodall passed away on October 1, 2025. She left a legacy of curiosity, compassion, and difference making that touched literally every continent and impacted millions of humans and animals alike. One of my students at Camosun College used this quote to inspire my support for a Roots & Shoots chapter at the school: "What you do makes a difference, and you have to decide what difference you want to make." - Jane Goodall…

Five Co-operative Solutions to Inter-Generational Strife According to folks like Dr. Christopher Mackie, governments are shortchanging people under 45 by spending an unequal amount on seniors. Unsurprisingly, Susan Eng of the Canadian Association of Retired Persons (CARP) believes that such a position amounts to nothing short of “inter-generational war”. Co-operatives empower people around the world to redefine, share and creatively distribute wealth in order to make our communities healthy and resilient for the long term.

Three Examples of Cooperative Dystopia in the “Alien” Universe Analyzing and sharing what popular culture can teach us about career development, leadership, and the cooperative enterprise model is something we do really well on this website. My contention is that the Alien universe is probably a cooperative dystopia from which we can learn a lot. But first we need to analyze and understand the value of cooperativism.

Nine Ways that I use my Grad Degree Every Day The 100 year anniversary of the end of the First World War was on Sunday, November 11, 2018. My major research paper in graduate school focused on the cultural history of the Great War, specifically how a satirical British magazine (and a few other primary sources) depicted events on the western front from 1914-1918.
